“What a movie! Total ‘paisa vasool’!”
Haven’t we all heard such remarks often and even judged things as good only if they are ‘paisa vasool’.

India is a country where we are taught to reuse, remake, see utility before spending and try and choose things that give us a little extra and are value for money or ‘paisa vasool’. We try to save money wherever possible without compromising value and quality. 

A little extra is always appreciated, be it the extra free mirch (green chillies) and dhania (coriander) we ask from the vegetable seller when we buy vegetables from him or the buy 1 get 1free offer items we buy when shopping. 

Seeing how we like a ‘little extra’ and are always on the lookout for ‘paisa vasool’ things, Lufthansa has brought a new super ‘paisa vasool’  premium economy class for its Indian flyers where we can experience luxury, comfort and expert service of the first class by paying just a little extra over the economy class fares!

If you are planning a trip then you should read this. Lufthansa Premium Economy class is a new option that falls midway between first class and economy class. It offers

1) Bigger seats with 50% more space so the passengers can stretch out properly and are more comfortable.
Compared to the economy seats offered by the various airlines in India which are cramped, congested with little leg space, this option definitely had my eyes shining. For taller people, this option is like a boon. Now forget about paying extra to get those privileged seats with more leg space and choose Lufthansa Premium Economy when flying and just pay once with no extra charges!
